I've attached two patches. The first updates the instructions in the manual, and the second builds the service files with the '/var/guix...' path.

This reverts commit b7230de54b493da5a78922b4226255763b525a98. Versions of systemd that supported symlinked service files are not yet widely deployed.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] build: Don't embed absolute paths in .service and .conf
service files.
Otherwise, users will be stuck running an old copy of guix and the guix-daemon
if they copy the service files instead of symlinking them.
* etc/guix-daemon.conf.in, etc/guix-daemon.service.in, etc/guix-publish.conf.in,
etc/guix-publish.service.in: Expand @localstatedir@ instead of @bindir@.
* nix/local.mk (etc/guix-%.service, etc/guix-%.conf): Use @localstatedir@
instead of @bindir@.
